Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
| |
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ Prospectuses. | |
|
The Structured International Equity Flex Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than U.S. securities and are be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund engages in derivative transactions, including short sales of securities. Derivative instruments involve sophisticated investment techniques and involve risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative instruments often involve leverage of the Fund’s assets, which magnifies the effect of changes in market values. A short sale transaction involves the sale of a borrowed security to a third party, with the understanding that the security must later be returned to the lender. Short sales involve the risk of an unlimited increase in the market value of the security sold short, which could result in a theoretically unlimited loss. Other risks associated with the Fund’s investments in derivative instruments include risks of default by a counterparty and the risks that transactions may not be liquid. | |

Flex Investment Process
| | |
|
| | 
n Comprehensive – We calculate expected excess returns for more than 10,000 stocks on a daily basis.
n Rigorous – We evaluate stocks based on fundamental investment criteria that have outperformed historically.
n Objective – We believe our stock selection process is free from the emotion that may lead to biased investment decisions.

n Our computer optimization process allocates risk to our best investment ideas and constructs funds that strive to neutralize systematic risks and deliver better returns.
n We take a limited number of short positions by targeting a portfolio weighting of up to 135% long and 35% short.
n We use a unique, proprietary risk model that is designed to be more precise, more focused and faster to respond because it seeks to identify, track and manage risk specific to our process, using daily data.

Fully invested, well-diversified portfolio that seeks to:
n Maintain style, sector, risk and capitalization characteristics similar to the benchmark.
n Offer broad access to a clearly defined equity universe.
n Generate excess returns that are positive, consistent and repeatable.
n Give the Funds greater exposure to the investment criteria due to their small number of short positions. This leads to potentially higher expected returns. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Structured International Equity Flex Fund
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview of the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Flex Fund
(the “Fund”) during the six-month reporting period that ended April 30, 2008.
Performance Review
| |
| Over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A, C, and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -12.50%, -12.80%, and -12.30%, respectively. These returns compare to a cumulative total return of -9.21% on the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE”) Index (unhedged and net of dividend withholding taxes), over the same time period. In the period since their inception through April 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns of -7.02% and -7.19%, respectively, versus -6.12% for the Index over the same time period. |
|
| The Fund uses a model that is based on six investment themes — Valuation, Profitability, Earnings Quality, Management Impact, Momentum and Analyst Sentiment. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. Profitability assesses whether the company is earning more than its cost of capital. Earnings Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accruals. Management Impact assesses the company’s management strategy and behavior. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information. Finally, the Analyst Sentiment theme looks at how Wall Street analysts’ views about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time. |
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
| |
| The Fund’s performance was disappointing over the last six months, a period in which the market environment was challenging for quantitative strategies generally. We believe that we are still experiencing the continued effects of the “crowding” that characterized the previous 12 to 18 months. (Crowding is a phenomenon in which quantitative managers look for similar stock traits using similar investment themes.) Crowding came to a head in August 2007 as a result of the quant liquidity crunch in which many portfolio managers utilizing quantitative strategies tried to reduce their exposure to equities — the same stocks — simultaneously. The ensuing sell-off, which continued — albeit muted — into September and through the fourth quarter (particularly during November 2007) adversely affected our investment themes, resulting in underperformance by the Fund through the end of the year. Any news that increased market volatility seemed to have a disproportionately negative impact on the Fund and our quantitative factors during the reporting period. The impact of crowding abated somewhat among this universe of stocks as the year turned, and the Fund’s returns were higher than those of the benchmark earlier in the reporting period. |
|
| Our Valuation investment theme detracted the most from the Fund’s relative performance, followed by Analyst Sentiment. Stock selection was weakest in the Industrials sector and strongest in the Materials and Utilities sectors during the period. With respect to country selection, stock selection was weakest in Japan and strongest in Germany. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| Although the Fund has underperformed in the last six months, we maintain a strong belief in an economically based, statistically proven, quantitatively driven process. To help us attempt to improve long-term returns, we have introduced a series of enhancements to our model, including the addition of new factors, modifications to existing factors, and the development of sector-specific factors. We regard many of the factors that we have implemented as more proprietary in nature and therefore less likely to become “crowded.” This should help us reduce our reliance on factors that have become more commonplace and allow us to migrate our models over time to unique return opportunities. In addition, we recently enhanced our trading methodology to allow for frequent rebalancing, which should help us incorporate relevant financial data into our models while continuing to keep transaction costs as low as possible. We believe that by rebalancing our portfolios on a more frequent basis, we may be able to achieve timely exposure to our investment themes and to better exploit shorter-lived information sources, thereby seeking to improve long-term results. |
|
| Quantitative investing has become extremely popular in recent times. To be successful in the future, we believe quantitative managers should be acutely aware of other managers, be nimble in terms of trading, and employ proprietary models. At Goldman Sachs, we believe that we have the resources, experience and expertise that are necessary to succeed in these challenging times. Our team and Goldman Sachs are committed to doing everything we can to seek better performance in the future. We thank you for your investment and will work to earn your continued confidence. |

1 | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
|
2 | The unmanaged MSCI EAFE Index (unhedged and net of dividend withholding taxes) is a market capitalization-weighted composite of securities in 21 developed markets. The Index is unmanaged and the figures for the Index do not include any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |

|
| |
3 | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end except for Class IR and R Shares, which are cumulative total returns. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Class IR and R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. The Fund will charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted. |
The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Web site at: www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview of the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Flex Fund (the “Fund”) during the six-month reporting period that ended April 30, 2008.
Performance Review
| |
| Over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A, C, and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -11.42%, -11.71%, and -11.20%, respectively. These returns compare to a cumulative total return of -9.64% on the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. In the period since their inception through April 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns of -5.76% and -5.97%, respectively, versus -5.69% for the Fund’s Index over the same time period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Structured International Equity Flex Fund (“Structured International Equity Flex”) and the Structured U.S. Equity Flex Fund (“Structured U.S. Equity Flex”) (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”). Each Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of Shares — Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares. Class A Shares of the Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares of the Funds are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares of the Funds are not subject to a sales charge. Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) serves as distributor of the Funds and receives such sales charges of which a certain portion may be retained. For the Structured International Equity Flex Fund a 2.00% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. Class IR and Class R Shares of the Funds commenced operations on November 30, 2007.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, serves as Investment Adviser pursuant to a Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to value investments at market value. Investments in securities traded on a foreign equity securities exchange are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. While the independent service may not take into account market or security specific information, under the valuation procedures, these securities might also be fair valued by the adviser by taking into consideration market or security specific information, as discussed below.
Investments in equity securities including equity securities sold short, and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services or broker/dealer-supplied valuations. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which considers yield or price with respect to comparable bonds, quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, to determine current value. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by GSAM are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
In addition, GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may determine to make an adjustment to the previous closing prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events, to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: situations relating to one or more single issuers in a market sector; significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market disruptions or market closings; government actions or other developments; as well as the same or similar events which may affect specific issuers or the
37

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
securities markets even though not tied directly to the securities markets. Other significant events that could relate to a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; corporate announcements on earnings; significant litigation and regulatory news such as governmental approvals.
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls and have delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is each Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Funds, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
Securities sold within a total return swap are reflected as of trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the financing amount which approximates identified cost and are realized on reset date.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line and/or “pro-rata” basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
Class A, Class C and Class R shareholders of the Funds bear all expenses and fees relating to their respective Distribution and Service Plans. Each class of shares of the Funds separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain, or as a tax return of capital.
In addition, distributions paid by a Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, a REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of a Fund’s distributions is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting of Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), on April 30, 2008. FIN 48 establishes financial accounting and disclosure requirements for recognition and measurements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return. GSAM has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2006 and 2007) and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
E. Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investment valuations, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions will represent: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (ii) currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on securities and derivative instruments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities and derivative instruments, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on securities and derivative instruments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions.
F. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross-hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The Funds may also purchase and sell forward contracts to seek to increase total return. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds record realized gains or losses at the time a forward contract is offset by entry into a closing transaction or extinguished by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. At April 30, 2008, the Funds had segregated sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments under these contracts.
G. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to segregate cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Funds, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
H. Redemption Fees — Redemption fees are reimbursed to the Structured International Equity Flex Fund and reflected as a reduction in share redemptions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Redemption fees are credited to Paid-in capital and are allocated to each share class on a pro-rata basis at the time of payment. The Fund uses a first-in first-out method so that shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest will be treated as being redeemed last.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
I. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Funds, including accrued interest is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Funds’ custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM, or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. In addition, the Funds’ credit exposure is allocated to the underlying repurchase counterparties on a pro-rata basis. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
J. Segregation Transactions — The Funds may enter into certain derivative or other transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, short sales, total return swaps, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
As investment companies registered with the SEC, the Funds must segregate liquid assets to “cover” open positions with respect to certain kinds of derivatives instruments. In the case of swaps that do not settle for cash, for example, the Funds must set aside liquid assets equal to the full notional value of the swaps while the positions are open. With respect to swaps that do settle for cash, however, the Funds are permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Funds’ daily marked-to-market net obligations (i.e., the Funds’ daily net liability) under the swaps, if any, rather than their full notional value.
K. Short Sales — Short selling involves leverage of a Fund’s assets and presents various risks. In order to establish a short position in a security, a Fund must first borrow the security from a lender, such as a Prime Broker or other counterparty. The Funds may not always be able to borrow the security at a particular time or at an acceptable cost. Thus, there is risk that the Funds may be unable to implement their investment strategy due to the lack of available securities or for other reasons.
After selling the borrowed security, a Fund is then obligated to “cover” the short sale by purchasing and returning the security to the lender on a later date. A Fund cannot guarantee that the security necessary to cover a short position will be available for purchase at the time the Fund wishes to close a short position or, if available, that the security will be available at an acceptable price. If the borrowed security has appreciated in value since it was sold, a Fund will be required to pay more for the replacement security than the amount it received from selling the security short. Moreover, purchasing a security to cover a short position can itself cause the price of the security to rise further. The potential loss on a short sale is unlimited because the loss increases as the price of the security sold short increases and the price may rise indefinitely. If the price of a borrowed security declines before the short position is covered, the Fund may realize a gain. A Fund’s gain on a short sale, before transactions and other costs, is generally limited to the difference between the price at which it sold the borrowed security and the price it paid to purchase the security to return to the lender.
Short sales also involve other costs. A Fund must normally repay to the lender an amount equal to any dividend and financing cost that accrues while the loan is outstanding. In addition, to borrow the security, a Fund may be required to pay a premium. A Fund will also incur transaction costs in effecting short sales. The amount of any ultimate gain for a Fund resulting from a short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate loss will be increased, by the amount of premiums, dividends, interest or expenses a Fund may be required to pay in connection with the short sale.
Until a Fund replaces a borrowed security, a Fund will be required to maintain assets in a segregated account at the custodian as collateral. Thus, short sales involve credit exposure to the broker that executes the short sales. In addition, a
40
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FLEX FUNDS
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Fund is required to designate, on the books of its custodian, liquid assets (less any additional collateral already held by the custodian) to cover the short sale obligation, marked-to-market daily. The requirement to segregate assets limits a Fund’s leveraging of its investments and the related risk of losses from leveraging. However, such segregation may also limit a Fund’s investment flexibility, as well as its ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
L. Total Return Swap Transactions — The use of total return swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The Structured International Equity Flex Fund’s transactions in total return swaps may be significant. These transactions can result in substantial realized and unrealized capital gains and losses relative to the gains and losses from the Fund’s direct investments in equity securities.
Transactions in total return swaps can involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in securities directly since, in addition to general market risks, swaps are leveraged and are also subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk. Because they have terms of greater than seven days, swap transactions may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, the Fund will bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a total return swap in the event of the default, by, or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. Total return swaps may also be subject to pricing or “basis” risk, which exists when a particular swap becomes extraordinarily expensive relative to historical prices or the price of corresponding cash market instruments. Under certain market conditions it may not be economically feasible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position in time to avoid a loss or take advantage of an opportunity. If a swap transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.
The prices of total return swaps can be volatile, and a variance in the degree of volatility or in the direction of securities prices from the Investment Adviser’s expectations may produce significant losses in the Fund’s investments in swaps. In addition, a perfect correlation between a total return swap and a security’s position may be impossible to achieve. As a result, the Investment Adviser’s use of total return swaps may not be effective in fulfilling the Investment Adviser’s investment strategies and may contribute to losses that would not have been incurred otherwise.
Total return swaps are valued based on the market value of the underlying long and short positions in the swap, valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. The total market value of the underlying securities plus financing fees, the value of corporate actions, and dividend accruals comprises the total market value of the total return swap position. Total return swaps are reset monthly with change in market value reflected as realized gain or loss.
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, GSAM’s contractual Management fees are listed below along with the effective rate for the period:

3. AGREEMENTS (continued) |
B. Distribution Agreement and Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares. With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Plans to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses so long as such total compensation under the Plans does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class C contingent deferred sales charge. During the six months ended April 30, 2008, Goldman Sachs advised the Funds that it retained the following approximate amounts:

C. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the Transfer Agent of the Funds for a fee. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional Shares.
D. Other Agreements — GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding Management fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer agency fees and expenses, dividend expenses on short sales, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meetings and other extraordinary expenses, exclusive of any custody and transfer agent fee credit reductions) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.064% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse other expenses. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent resulting in a reduction in the Funds’ expenses. These expense reductions were as follows (in thousands):

|
For the six months ended April 30, 2008, Structured International Equity Flex and Structured U.S. Equity Flex paid commissions of approximately $17,000 and $1,700, respectively, in connection with futures contracts entered into with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), formerly Boston Global Advisors, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ security lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds bear the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust (“Enhanced Portfolio”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in money market instruments, but is not a “money market fund” subject to requirements of Rule 2a-7 of the Act. The Funds bear the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.
Both the Funds and GSAL receive compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2008, are reported parenthetically under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

6. LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY |
The Funds participate in a $450,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or affiliates. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The committed facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Effective May 13, 2008, the facility was increased to $700,000,000.
As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, October 31, 2007, the Funds’ capital loss carryforwards and certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Structured International | | Structured U.S. |

At April 30, 2008, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Structured International | | Structured U.S. |
| | Equity Flex | | Equity Flex |
|
Tax Cost | | $ | 256,560,322 | | | $ | 35,033,221 | |

Gross unrealized loss | | | (16,240,416 | ) | | | (2,863,847 | ) |
|
Net unrealized security gain (loss) | | $ | (4,593,758 | ) | | $ | (1,049,318 | ) |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, differences related to the Passive Foreign Investment Company investments, net mark to market gains (losses) on Section 1256 futures and foreign currency contracts recognized for tax purposes as of the most recent fiscal year end.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FLEX FUNDS
Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds believe the risk of loss under these arrangements to be minimal.
New Accounting Pronouncements — On September 15, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations on an entity’s financial performance. FAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair valuation methods and applications. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. GSAM does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FLEX FUND
Fund Expenses (Unaudited) — Six Months Ended April 30, 2008
| |
| As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR or Class R Shares of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), or contingent deferred sales charges (loads) on redemptions (with respect to Class C shares) and redemption fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR or Class R Shares, if any (for Structured International Flex Fund only) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. |
|
| The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008. |
|
| Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. |
|
| Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. |
|
| Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. |

| | |
| * | Expenses for each share class are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period ended April 30, 2008. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Class A | | | Class C | | | Institutional | | | Class IR | | | Class R | |
|
Structured International Equity Flex | | | 1.59% | | | | 2.34% | | | | 1.19% | | | | 1.34% | | | | 1.84% | |

|
| | |
| + | Hypothetical expenses are based on each Fund’s actual annualized expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. |
